What does omnichannel really mean for an organization? What benefits are actually realized by implementing omnichannel service?

Organizations want to deliver great customer service experiences but are often cut short in their aspirations because of budget constraints, technology limitations, or a variety of other factors. When it comes down to it, what an organization wants to do and what an organization can do are often very different things. As a result, it’s not uncommon for contact center leaders to be skeptical about the latest buzz within the industry. And what’s one of the most pervasive buzz words in customer service today? Omnichannel.

The role of technology in enabling (and disabling) effective service experiences.

Lessons learned and the things to avoid from one organization’s journey to delivering omnichannel service.
